I don’t mean to sound entitled, and I hope that the author of Arctic is in good health. But, with the TestFlight soon expiring and the AppStore version somewhat outdated, I was hoping if there would be anyone who had any news about updates? Or, should we be looking for alternatives?

    You sound like me lol, so I downloaded it and I’ll give it a shot, thanks! Is there an instance for it at the moment?

      It defaults to Lemmy.zip for now. You can add custom instances by putting them in the search durning login. I don’t plan on running a public instance, since running that would be time I could dedicate to working on Blorp. There’s a community [email protected], but I think I’m going to migrate to [email protected].

        Awesome to hear, I just made this @lemmy.ml account. I’ll create one on zip. I’m just looking for compatibility and up time, a few are sadly disappearing.

          A lot of people block ml, but it’s run by the Lemmy devs so I would expect it to not disappear. I personally was caught off guard with lemm.ee shutting down, but it seems like lemmy.world and Lemmy.zip are safe. I hope.

            Alright, you’ve convinced me to switch again lol. Mind if I ask why? I’m just trying to pick closest servers, but I don’t want to be blocked.

            Edit: Signed up for zip and waiting on acceptance.

              Honestly I wouldn’t overthink it. I don’t really see an issue with switching instances in the future. Unless you are really worried about your posts/comments, but Lemmy doesn’t have Karma which imo makes switching easier.

              But I built Blorp to be really multi account friendly, so I would sign into your ml and zip account and try both.

                That’s perfect then, in the early days of Lemmy I figured having 2-3 accounts might become inevitable. There were quite a few DDoS attacks. 🫤 Might as well have a backup.
